pg_restore has some options that are supposed to allow restoring some or
all indexes/tables/triggers/etc. For example

pg_restore --table

restores all tables and

pg_restore --table=my_table

restores only the named table. The equivalent short option is -t but it
does not allow restoring all tables, since it requires an argument. I
suggest that an argument of '*' also means to restore all tables.

Also, if you just call pg_restore without arguments it hangs waiting for
input from stdin. This is a bit confusing. I suggest that stdin is used
if and only if the file name argument is '-'.
